Things were so bad that the 1995 and 1997 Kansas City Chiefs were tied for first. Both teams were 13-3 and both teams were knocked off in the divisional rounds. Both of the Marty Schottenheimer-led teams had serious Super Bowl aspirations that faded.

The No. 2 team on the list were the 1996 Denver Broncos. They were 13-3 and were expected to get to the Super Bowl. Yet, after the team’s starters rested for much of the final month, the Broncos were stunned at home by the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the pain of that loss was soothed by two straight Super Bowl championships in the next two seasons.

The final team on the list is the 2006 San Diego Chargers. The Chargers went 14-2 only to lose a divisional round game against the New England Patriots in the final moments. It ended up being Schottenheimer’s final game as the team’s coach.
